For the March 2012 public outreach, we decided to try a (short) introductory talk followed by a
"buffet" of experimental particle physics activities in two rooms and the outer hallway. The estimated attendance was 81 people attending the full presentation while at least 20 people interacted with the hallway presenters without attending the full show.

Room 1: Activities describing the LHC

Introductory talk with invitation to questions.

Room 2: Activities describing the ATLAS experiment

Outer Hallway: Activites describing the specific UA contributions to experimental
high energy physics, and also fun hands-on general physics activities
(but still related to experimental high energy research) to attract people walking through the building.
